You might be aware of the many forms of collaboration the Office 365 platform now offers – including Microsoft Teams, Office 365 Groups and SharePoint Team and Communication sites. But you might not realise the magnitude of the challenge Office 365 administrators face in keeping on top of this ever-changing technology environment.

Even simply deciding what type of workspace to provision can be tricky:

Do users need a SharePoint site or a Microsoft Teams team?

Should each project we run have its own Office 365 Group?

What about naming conventions?

Then there are questions about finding, archiving and deleting unused sites, groups and teams – and how to upgrade them in the future. These are questions that Office 365 by itself doesn’t answer, which is where third-party provisioning tools come in.

Solving the challenge of Office 365 provisioning

To date, there have been several provisioning solutions created which make the creation and management of digital workspaces easier. But, once deployed, these have required an in-house expert to use and maintain them.

To fix this, at CompanyNet we’ve launched an Office 365 provisioning service, called Proven. Proven puts our team’s expert advice and specially-developed, proprietary toolset in your corner. It comes in three parts – a friendly bot to help automate provisioning; a managed service, including one-to-one support, and a dashboard to give you actionable insights into the shape of your digital estate.

Through this service, we hope to help businesses change the way their Office 365 tenants are managed for the better, making administrators’ lives easier while helping to drive digital transformation.
